This wiki is an ongoing piece of collaboration for and by some second grade classes, and as such, some may find it messy, incomplete, with spelling and grammar mistakes. The process of learning is not always neat, orderly, or clean. So, we ask that when you visit us here to observe or to learn...you excuse our missteps, for we are learning and we learn best by doing.
